Neither news.redhat.com nor gmane.org are replacements for the mail list.
Here's what I just discovered:
Redhat's nntp gateway exports the following:
gated.:
ataraid-list dm-devel elfutils-list enigma-list fedora-desktop-list fedora-patches-list fedora-tools-list k12ltsp-list linux.cluster linux-lvm open-source-now-list redhat-install-list redhat-list redhat-s390-list rhl-beta-list rhl-devel-list rhl-docs-list rhl-list test
fedora-desktop-list doesn't not contain fedora-list articles.
gmane.org's groups also don't contain one to back fedora-list.
So how are these acceptable replacements for the mail list?
